‘I Never Retreat’: Sarah Palin Calls For Fellow GOP Candidate To Drop From House Race

Former Alaska Republican Governor Sarah Palin has called on her fellow GOP House candidate Nick Begich to drop out of the November midterm race.

Palin made the plea during a Monday news conference following a loss to Democrat Mary Peltola in the state’s special House election to replace Republican Rep. Don Young, who passed away earlier this year.

Palin and Begich combined to take 60% of the vote, yet Peltola was declared the winner due to taking the most votes in the state’s new ranked-choice vote system.

All three candidates will again face off in the November midterm election, where Palin and Begich could again divide the conservative vote and leave a Democrat in office for the next two years. Palin urged Begich to step down to clear the path for her to receive at least 50% of the vote and avoid the loss she endured in August.
